摘要
Using the empirical pseudopotential approach, we have investigated the electronic properties of GaN, ScN and their hypothetical alloys ScxGa1-xN in the zinc-blende structure. The band gaps at Gamma-, X- and L-points as well as the electron effective masses of Gamma and X valleys were calculated as a function of scandium molar fraction x. The agreement between our results and the available experimental and previously calculated data is fair. (c) 2006 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim.
